Oval Maiden Voyage

[Cuebie]

After a seasoning/test run last night, here's the maiden voyage of my new Oval, I think I'm gonna call her Black Betty...

Pretty new toy and ribs. Don't be afraid to just up to 270* or so... :wink:

Terry,
Thanks for the compliment and the advice! I've been micro-managing the temp so far, nice to know I can use a loose hand on the reins...

Ribs look nice - congrats on Black Betty.
Gonna be almost 5 hours I guess -
are you going bare, or gonna wrap?

I'll go bare this time and wrap next week, which do you recommend? Any pointers?

I did bare last time, they were WAY more 'pull off" the bone than when I wrapped, which were "fall off" the bone. Both tasted great, but the bare ones sliced.
Learn about the "bend test".
If you stay at 225, you won't burn 'em; preventing burn IS a good reason to wrap.
Don't eat them all before others get a chance at 'em!

You are going to love that cooker. Brisket comes out better in that than any of my other units, steaks are great. Congratulations!

Just pulled em' off after 5 hours and took a little snick before wrapping in foil for the journey to the in-law's and I dipped it in some Famous Dave's and it tastes better than any restaurant ribs I've ever had (I realize that's not saying much coming from So-Cal) but I'm pretty farkin' pleased...
